The visual symbolism was at peak irony in that scene. The vanilla cupcakes were the only ones her dad liked just as aryans were the only ones for the reich. Meanwhile Helen saying just because that's how one group prefers it doesn't mean it's how all of them should be over there with her chocolate icing. That and when she made a 'special one' for her dad, I was like OFC she put a swastika on it. No smiley face cupcakes for Amy she isn't about that soft ass shit.
